Monthly virtual roundtable discussions or webinars will highlight business key areas such as human resources, operations, and sales and marketing. The virtual platform allows everyone in your company to access these educational programs with ease, and many of them are free. The next virtual event “Improve the Performance of Your Stainless Steel Fasteners” will be held on April 8, 2021 at 2:00 PM EST. Join Derek Dandy from Bodycote S3P and learn how to improve wear and galling resistance for stainless steel fastener applications. Galling is a type of wear caused by friction and adhesion between sliding surfaces; typically, it occurs under a compressive load and results in damage to the structure of a component. The webinar applies to all roles including R&D, engineering product design, manufacturing, materials procurement, technical support, quality control as well as maintenance personnel, maintenance managers, and production managers or personnel, across various market sectors. Attending this webinar will help you to understand the principles of Kolsterising® and learn about benefits such as increased lifetime and fatigue strength, repeatable performance, and more. All are welcome to participate in NFDA’s monthly virtual roundtables and webinars, as membership is not required. This event is free but does require registration.
